     | 2,448 views

    This is the second message in a study of the sixth beatitude. The reward for the pure in heart is that they will "see God." How does that promise relate to the resurrection, and how does it relate to this life? What is biblical impact of seeing God?

    Intro We are in a study of the Beatitudes with an interest in how to position ourselves to be revived and enter into his purposes more fully. Last week we began talking about the sixth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.”i That is our ...read more

    Do You Have Americanitis? (“Be Still And Know That I Am God”)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 4, 2023
     | 3,194 views

    These eight words in the scriptures that I just read to you are some of the most important words in the scriptures for us Christians.

    Why? Because this verse of scripture tells us to BE STILL and then it tells us why we should be still…to KNOW GOD. Some people live their entire life KNOWING THERE IS A GOD BUT NOT KNOWING GOD. I want to ask you a question, DO YOU KNOW GOD? You might say preacher that is the most RIDICULOUS ...read more

    Pause and imagine Joseph explaining everything to his parents. “Yes, mom, as I told you earlier. Mary is a good young lady, and we didn’t do anything. She is “with child” because of the Holy Spirit, and I didn’t lay a hand on her. I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise you it’s true.”

    No one wants to miss the magic of Christmas. And no one wants to have anything less than a fantastic Christmas holiday experience. Christmas is this wonderful time of year, and we want to spread that unmitigated joy to everyone! But there are just some Christmases that we don’t have the joy that ...read more

    There are not that many people who are resurrected in the pages of the Bible. You can trace down every one of them in an afternoon’s sitting. It’s nearly exclusively the women who have this privilege.

    Elisha shows us how to remain faithful during challenging times. Several years ago, the people at Motel 6 had this catchy tagline on their commercials: “We’ll leave the light on for you.” Tom Bodett was building houses in Homer, Alaska, and was contributing to National Public Radio’s All Things ...read more

    How much devastation and destruction has been wrought because believer's think nothing of listening passively to slanderous accusations against their spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul was a victim of this as well.

    Paradise, California. Lahaina, Hawaii. What comes to mind when I mention those two towns? What do they have in common? Yes, wildfire devastation. Firestorms that destroyed nearly the whole towns.

     | 1,267 views

    God gave us a gift in His Son. That gift must be taken out of the "box" and utilized in order to get the full benefit of the gift. Many Christians keep Jesus in a box where He is not allowed to operate freely in their lives.

The title of my message today is “The Gift Is Not The Box” and I want to focus your attention on spiritual maturity. Proverbs 20:11, from the New American Standard Bible, says, ...read more

    Can you imagine Mary and Martha pacing the floor, waiting for Jesus? They were at the deathbed of their beloved brother. Can’t you see Lazarus struggling to breathe? The whole time, they’re looking out the window expecting to see Jesus arrive.

    What if I told you that surveys suggest that nearly three-quarters of doctors in the United States believe in miracles?

    Some good Bible teachers have spiritualized these letters to the seven churches and made each local congregation represent a particular era of church history.

    But I strongly disagree with some of these good Bible teachers that I have a high respect for and I will explain in a few minutes why I disagree.
